Your Divine Essence
Your Divine Essence
This Pilgrimage is designed to drop you into the depth of who you really are; To elegantly decondition your body, mind and soul so that you can connect to the beauty, sweetness, and abundant nature of your true soul essence.
There are pivotal moments in the life of a spiritual seeker when you know that you have outgrown your life, and that something inside calls you to restructure your inner and outer self.
This is not about only stepping away from your life, as most retreats invite; this is about fully stepping into the essence of your soul -- to do that, you need a precise organization that offers you liberation, protection and a clear path to fulfill your destiny and your heart's desire.

In order for you to quickly drop into your true essence, the right guide and right environment are needed.

Our community first heard about Guruma in 2024; Asha's cousin in India recommended her, her lineage and her reputation. We arranged for our group to spend 24 hours with her and we had no idea what would unfold...
- Activated the sacred sounds of the 16 aspects of Shakti
- Held in Guruma's acceptance & compassion
- Practiced Lunar Yoga created by Guruma
- Cleansed our past in a Hawan (sacred fire ceremony)
- Participated puja (ritual) to Shakti
- Introduced to Lalita Tripura Sundari - the aspect of Shakti (the Goddess) that creates beauty & abundance in the world
- Initiated into the Sri Vidya Path (a Tantric teaching that seeks to liberate people from the confines of culture and past karma)
- Forever changed
Then in 2025 we spent four days in the Himalayas in retreat with Guruma, visited a key temple for spiritual practitioners of this lineage, received lessons in nature about true secrets of the chakras and their energy, and for those ready initiations into this protection and path of blessings was offered.
In 2026, we will be again in retreat with Guruma in the same gorgeous, serene retreat center where your body can rest, your soul land and the path of liberation can anchor in your life, should you choose.
Four days with Guruma is the decision that will give your soul a home, without having to change your spiritual beliefs yet giving you the correct, Rishi-tested practices so your life can feel fulfilled in your purpose, prosperity, enjoyment and liberation.

The central teaching that she imparts in the embodiment of our greatest Intuition through the activation of the Divine Feminine Energy, or Shakti. The methodology of this spiritual tradition is called Sri Vidya; the merging of Consciousness and Life (Shiva & Shakti)
Sri Vidya is a highly revered and powerful spiritual tradition that focuses on practices to awaken to the highest levels of intuition through the Divine Feminine connection, Tripura Sundari, who represents the supreme goddess or Shakti. The term "Sri Vidya" literally means the "knowledge of Sri (abundance)
Guruma will teach us that this ancient wisdom is actually about the process of using our creative energy to realize our desires.
At its core, Sri Vidya is a spiritual path that emphasizes the realization of the Divine Feminine energy and the process to manifest through specific mantras, yantras, and rituals. The goal of Sri Vidya is to lead the practitioner to self-realization and ultimately, to union with the Divine, through the conscious activation of the Kundalini Shakti and the mastery of esoteric spiritual practices.
The opportunity to be in retreat and spend intimate time with Guruma is a true gift; she will teach secret practices and get to bask in the Grace of her essence. Should her grace allow, an opportunity of initiation will also be available for those who want to be a part of the lineage.

Rishikesh & the secret doorways to authentic wisdom of the Sages
Rishikesh & the secret doorways to authentic wisdom of the Sages
Rishikesh, often called the "Yoga Capital of the World," is one of the holiest cities in India, located in the foothills of the Himalayas along the banks of the Ganges River.
It has long been a spiritual and cultural center, drawing millions of pilgrims, spiritual seekers, and yoga enthusiasts from around the world. The city's spiritual significance, rich history of sages, and unique atmosphere make it a powerful destination for those seeking peace, enlightenment, and self-transformation.
But few have the insider access that we will have, bypassing the noise of the western influence and being in close proximity with the true living Sages.
This will be a visit to Rishikesh like no other.
We have developed intimate relationships with the most sought after spiritual Teachers in Rishikesh & have special programs to go deeper with teachings on Ganesha, Vedantic philosophy and purification at the edge of Ganga (the Goddess/ River that promises to purify the heart) in the course of the four days here.
What is not you, will fall away organically and graciously.

the city that takes you to the deepest and highest realms of existence
Varanasi is a place like no other. Although it is obviously a physical place, the access to other realms is undeniable.
It is said that the version of Shiva that resides here promises to cleanse your karma and protect you into the deep mysteries, should you approach with humility and devotion.
What we have experienced in this sacred city is the richness of temples, the joy of the people and the chaos that forces you to stay awake and alert to all the little and big things that come your way.
We are proud to have aligned with a Foundation that knows the ins and outs of this portal of all realms and gives us special access to each temple we visit. Portion of our proceeds to this foundation that is building a special school for all genders to learn about Sanatan Dharma (the ancient philosophy in India)
this city will never be this ALIVE than during these dates !
Begin with Mahavidya Yatra
- These are the TEN primordial aspects of Shakti. They do not have consorts, they ARE. They represent the most raw potent forms of Shakti and provide access to parts of our psyche and soul that no consciousness in the west can even touch. To receive the blessing from these temples is to connect to the most unadulterated parts of our power.
Durga Yatra
- Sit in devotion at NINE temples that represent the nine aspects of Ma Durga (the same ones celebrated in Navratri). We journey with the Mother, the aspect of Shakti that protects and nurtures showing us the different benevolent parts of who She is and who She invites us to be.
Bhairava Yatra
- This journey to the 8 Temples to Bhairava will touch the depth of your heart. This is a pilgrimage to receive his protection and blessings to be a student of the secrets of secrets. It is said that doing this pilgrimage is the process to receive the access to parts of Shakti practice that unlock the truth.
The Kashi state of being is bananas! Get ready to travel ALL THE REALMS plus also visit an important Shani (Saturn) Temple.

In the heart of Assam lies THE most potent, raw, pure Shakti Peeth (1 of 51 Temples of Shakti)
The story goes that the 51 parts of Shakti are across the region, and visiting this one specific connects us to our raw power. Man or woman. The power of creation, the power to be the Beloved.
This is the origin story of the Goddess. If you are a spiritual seeker, a Tantra student, a lover, a Priestess, a student of Shakti / Goddess of any background, this is the most alive place to visit.
There are three days of the year where the waters run red in this Temple signifying the aliveness of her menstrual blood.
Again, we have partnered with a Foundation that will give us special access to Puja and Hawan (sacred fire).
This is where we meet the other side of Bhairava. Where we receive the blessings of the Yoni of Shakti.
This temple is for those who can handle intense overflowing energy of RAW LOVE.
This Pilgrimage is designed so that each of us can have a spiritual exploration and deepening in the embodiment of the Sacred aspects of ourselves; merging our inner Shiva (Masculine) and our inner Shakti (Feminine).
One of the beautiful ways of exploring this is by experiencing the devotion in India to Shakti, the divine feminine energy. We will be exploring this aspect of our own divinity through the study of authentic teachings (the technology to embody the Sacred Feminine & process to manifest our desires) with our Guru Sakalamaa, a renowned Teacher & Author. Guruma.
Temples we will visit (both in Varanasi & in the Mountains) are in devotion to specific Goddesses of the tradition that will help us amplify our intuitive nature.
In Varanasi we will visit a special Temple known as a Shakti Peetha. This is a sacred shrine or temple dedicated to the goddess Shakti, who is considered the divine feminine energy in Hinduism.
The concept is rooted in the mythology of the goddess Sati (or Dakshayani), who is believed to have self-immolated after her father, Daksha, insulted her husband, Lord Shiva. When Shiva learned of her death, he carried her body around the universe, which led to parts of her body falling at various locations. These places where her body parts are said to have fallen are considered to be Shakti Peethas.
Each Shakti Peetha is associated with a specific part of Sati's body, and they are spread across the Indian subcontinent, including in places like India, Nepal, and Bangladesh. Pilgrims visit these sites to worship and seek blessings from the goddess in her various forms.
There are traditionally 51 or 108 Shakti Peethas, and they are major pilgrimage destinations for devotees of the goddess, each one symbolizing a unique manifestation of Shakti. These temples are significant not only for their religious importance but also for their historical and cultural value.
These sites are particularly important in the Shakta tradition, where the Goddess is worshipped as the supreme deity and the source of all creation, destruction, and preservation. The concept of the Pithas is deeply rooted in Tantra and Shaktism, two traditions that focus on the worship of the Divine Feminine, often represented as Durga, Kali, or Parvati, among others.

Why travel with us?
Why travel with us?
Our mission is to help you achieve the Four Purusharthas
(Sanatan Dharma principles):
Dharma- Divine Purpose
Aartha - Financial Prosperity
Kama - Deep Pleasure
Moksha - Presence & Liberation
This India Pilgrimage is for you if:
- You want to deepen your spiritual path and also honor your material desires
- You want to learn but also laugh
- You believe that you are here to enjoy, prosper and also be in deep connection to the Divine (whatever form that is for you!)
- You want deep, honest & fun Sisterhood/Community
- You are ready to manifest your heart & soul's desire (hint- Sri Vidya/ Tantra has the answers!)
- You want a high level of spiritual sophistication and can also be flexible with simple, comfortable and clean accommodations
- You desire to have a spiritual home in a trusted Guru (no commitment, of course)
We are not your typical yogis (yoginis)! We are both in devotion to our spiritual practices, but also live prosperous lives in the U.S. We have life partners, children and businesses.
In our own unique ways, we have each found a way to balance the spiritual & the material.
We do not believe that modern women need to give up the experience on this beautiful earth to be connected to their soul or to divinity.
We believe that in order to make a positive impact in society, spiritual seekers cannot ignore their financial abundance.
Part of what India teaches us is that the divine lives in all the forms: the devotee, the student and the luxurious Goddess.
We are not only a model of grounded Sisterhood and partnership, we are also excited to bring teachings that assist women and men to be spiritually and materially abundant.
What we have found that people most receive from our work together is an activation towards a more authentic and sweet life. When the soul gets to live through our every cell, life responds with blessings.
What we have found that people most receive from our work together is an activation towards a more authentic and sweet life. When the soul gets to live through our every cell, life responds with blessings.
We are dedicated to building a community of people who want to honor, respect, and adore both soul and deeply believe in wealth.
